Came across this little gem, showed up on my FB page! We are staying in LaQuinta for the 3rd time & just found out about Melange!! Robert was the most awesome waiter. Kind, caring, considerate & funny! We went for Happy Hour 3-5, a nice little menu available! Flat bread pizzas were delicious. Someone else had the wrapped dates & another had the cod tacos. All delicious!! The view makes you feel like you are not in the desert!!!

Beautiful setting/ambience. Robert, our server was outstanding. Food was delicious. Host/greeting upon entering was rude and unsettling. Unfortunate to have the first impression be so disheartening. Thank you, Robert and chef for the wonderful recovery.
